73k mile 65 notch

[Vic]

decided to give the type 3 thread some love. Had my old vert parked outside my dads house and a old man on a bike stops by and says he has a notch sitting in his garage. i go check it out to find a 73k mile rust free all og 6 volt car, still has its og 1500 motor:




i decided to primer it and get it rolling

i couldnt stand rolling stock so lowered it some on some brms


i also cleaned up the trunk areas and interior a little




sold my vert to focus on the notch so in the bodyshop it went


new rollers on firestones all around

assembly is lmost done as far as the exterior, im really happy with this car and cant wait to get it done and rolling

[RICH50]

Who's doing your chroming ?

[Vic]

Some shop in bloomington, he's done chrome for me before and does good work, he also specializes in chroming aluminum wheels

[vdubmax]

What does he charge a wheel?

[mr. warehouse]

Inquiring minds want to know.

Also, what's the turn around time?

Does he do detailing as well?

[Vic]

95 a wheel, just dropped them off right now and I should have them back by next Thursday.

[mr. warehouse]

Keep me in the loop on that deal. Right now I'm waiting MONTHS for chrome work.
 

[Vic]

Will do Greg  can't wait to get these mounted on the notch!

[RICH50]

Keep me in the loop on that deal. Right now I'm waiting MONTHS for chrome work.
 

Yeah I feel you...took me 8 months  Vic hopefully we could get your contact if your happy with there work

[Vic]

8 months!! Holy shit!! After chrome I still need to take them to Al Reed for detailing, I hope thats not the case. if you guys wanna ask him questions here's his number, ask for Rick (909) 264-4493

[RICH50]

Vic take them to Paul Smoot to get them detailed...

[Vic]

That's right.. I'll hit up Paul for sure

[Vic]

[mr. warehouse]

[RICH50]

Came out nice Vic 

[Vic]

Thanks

[RICH50]

Well i got to look at the rims up close and your chromer is good bro...The whole car is looking real good bro. Thanks for the tip on the chromer and ill be hitting him up soon, Thanks Vic

[Vic]

Thanks Rich, yeah the car has come a long way, it always bugged me rolling around on repop Fuchs and I told myself once I get some dough that's the first thing I'm buying is a real set,and all that work I just did to it really paid off. I'm really happy with the car right now, also was checking out what's involved on how to mount that 3 spoke in the notch since I've never seen one in a type 3 before, I'm looking into getting a hub machined down instead of switching shafts. And no problem on the chromer I'm sure He will take care of you guys as well.

[Vic]

[mr. warehouse]

I checked out your car today at The Bug-In.
Very nice. Congratsnon a job well done. 

[Vic]

Thank you Greg, just trying to keep with the big dogs!

[themacnut]

You were holding your own.  Notch looked so good.   

[Vic]

Thanks Jeff, I look forward to meeting both of you at the classic!

[themacnut]

Can't wait to see the new rear window. 

[themacnut]

[Vic]

Thanks guys, yeah pretty happy with how the roof came out, here's some more pics of some more work that's been done.

[mr. warehouse]

[Vic]

[themacnut]

Looks sweet! 

[mr. warehouse]

I'll tell you what. Yesterday I was thinking about selling mine to make room for other projects, but now....... 

[Vic]

Do it Greg thats a sweet notch you have!

[mr. warehouse]

Do it, meaning sell it? Or do it meaning build it?

[Vic]

Build it, can't go wrong with a sunroof notch

[themacnut]

You've done the patina thing many times before, paint this one and make it a keeper Greg! 

[vdubmax]

The only "keeper" Greg will ever have is Amy 

[themacnut]

ahhhh.   

[mr. warehouse]

The only "keeper" Greg will ever have is Amy 

This guy knows what he is talking about.
